Former Florida standout Will Richard turned in an impressive Summer League debut on Sunday.
Richard’s Golden State Warriors faced the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday in California Classic Summer League action. The Warriors fell 90-88. Richard actually took a last-second 3-point attempt for the win that almost went in.
Even in the loss, though, it’s safe to say that Warriors fans liked what they saw from Richard. He was part of the team’s starting lineup and logged 25 minutes. Richard finished with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 assist in the game.
Richard was 3-of-10 from the field, but a perfect 8-of-8 at the line. As he did in his Gator days, Richard showed his knack for converting turnovers into points and shooting the 3-ball.
